Lost in all the hub bub of Serena Williams' latest comeback, the potential end of her sister's career and the buzz around youngsters like Christina McHale, everyone forgot all about Vania King.

At least until Thursday at the Australian Open.

Vastly more well known for her doubles play, King, ranked 66th in the world, pulled a stunning upset of 16th-ranked Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, finishing her 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 victory by breaking Pavlyuchenkova's serve with a skunk of a sixth game in the third set.

The victory propelled the 22-year-old King into the third round of the Australian Open for the first time and matches her deepest penetration into any singles Grand Slam.

It was a great big win for the 5-foot, 5-inch King, who entered the tournament with a career singles mark of79-102.

Her fame has come in doubles, where she's won two Grand Slams and played for two more.
King's striking features make her a standout in any lineup. She's Taiwanese-American, the youngest of four children and her brother Phillip was a four-time All-American at Duke university.

Pavlyuchenkova is the second top 15 seed to fall in as many days, following Samantha Stosur to the sidelines.
Meanwhile, King is queen, for at least a day.
